X – Jesus is Stripped of His Garments

“They divide my garments
among them, and for my
clothing they cast lots.”
Psalm 22:18

V. We adore You, O Christ, and we bless You. (Genuflect)
R. Because by Your holy Cross You have redeemed the world. (Stand)
V. Having arrived at the place of sacrifice, Jesus’ murderers prepare to crucify Him. His garments are torn from His bleeding Body, and the Holy of Holies stands exposed to the vulgar gaze of the belittling crowd. (Kneel)
R. Jesus, You suffered shame for our most shameful deeds. Unburden us from all pride, conceit, and envy; give us the grace to humble ourselves, that we may escape all shame in the everlasting life to come. Amen.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be.
Recite Act of Contrition.
V. Lord Jesus, crucified,
R. Have mercy on us! (Stand)

Fac, ut ardeat cor meum
In armando Christum Deum,
Ut sibi complaceam.

Make me feel as thou hast felt;
Make my soul to glow and melt
With the love of Christ, my Lord.
